Just a quick post to show off this cute video of my friend’s dog playing with another friend’s cat. For the geeks out there, this was shot on a jailbroken iPhone using Cycorder and then transcoded to h.264 using iMovie.

A few nights ago I was setting up my new fileserver (post to come soon) when I heard something like fireworks on my street. Upon further investigation I saw big flashes which were going off in time with the exploding sounds. After a little while I saw that people were down on the street watching whatever the show was, so I went down and got some footage. For the record this was in Kenmore Hills some time around 2-3am on 14 Jan 2009. If anyone knows what this is, please let me know via email or in the comments.

I’d like to put my hand up for the manliest man award.  Not only did I change a tyre on my car today, I also built some furniture.  Ok, “built” might be taking things a bit too far given that it came flat-packed from IKEA.  Nonetheless, I screwed things, I hammered things, so to me it felt like building.  In any event, this is all irrelevant, because I’m here to preach the virtues of what I built, not how I built it.

TOBO, my beastly new TV unit, is a proud addition to my IKEA collection and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonable sized cabinet for a televison and consoles.  He will proudly hold a 46″ LCD, PS3, Wii and a small collection of discs, and that’s without making use of his two generous drawers.  TOBO is a shining example of IKEA’s much improved design, both in terms of aesthetic and ease of assembly.  TOBO, I salute you.

In non-TOBO related news, I’ve added an “I Want” page.  You have one guess as to what is on this page…

This is well late, but take note for next year. For those not in the know, it’s a charity supporting mens’ health issues. Namely prostate cancer and depression. Go forth and donate.
